THINGS TO LOOK FOR TODAY

WORKING GROUP I: Working Group I will complete its second
reading of Chapter XII (Technology, Research and Development) and
then proceed to Chapter III (Interrelationships between Population,
Sustained Economic Growth and Sustainable Development) this
morning. It will continue its second reading of Chapter XI
(Population Information, Education and Communication) this
afternoon. A copy of the Chair's draft text for Chapter III will be
distributed today. It is highly possible that the Working Group
will have an evening session tonight and Friday night to continue
the second reading of the various chapters under its mandate. Watch
for continued informal consultations.

WORKING GROUP II: The Working Group will continue its second
reading of Chapter V (The Family) and then proceed with Chapter VI
(Population Growth and Structure). It is expected that they will
also review Chapter IX (Population Distribution, Urbanization and
Internal Migration).

SECURITY BRIEFING: The US Mission to the UN will host a
general briefing on security for the Cairo Conference for US NGOs,
at 5:00 pm on the 8th Floor of the Church Center. Speakers will
include Timothy Wirth, Mr. O'Brien, Regional Security Officer for
the US in Cairo and Amb. Walker, US Ambassador-designate to Egypt.
Notwithstanding the overriding political issues that would make a
change in venue nearly impossible, many participants have expressed
their hope that the Conference will be moved to Geneva, New York or
Indonesia.
